Its all over folks. They're not playing. Close the thread. 

Nah this is secret set speculation now, where will they do it this time?

Does it? 

Says a source mentioned they would be playing festivals in America and abroad with no mention of uk.

Since they're a British band I don't think they would count a festival in Britain as a festival abroad

It's an American website.

I took 'abroad' to mean outside of America, considering CoS is based in the states.

This article from January seems to imply there won't be any uk festivals this year

Hardly conclusive is it?

Anyhoo regardless, starting to look into the Lisbon festival now for a bit of sun and a pretty good lineup.

It's not over till Neil changes the SR and takes them off .

Still keeping faith in that

I have my fingers crossed on an update of the info.

I have my suspicions that it might come back as "plans have changed", tho that's me pre-guessing it. If things have changed I have a feeling I know why tho.

When I might get an update I've no idea - but I am hoping to get an update soonish.

Well, this was a disappointing thread to come back too.

[Hugh Jass]

We can always shift focus to when the album will drop.

disappointed news

Someone on the last page mentioned vinyl on Amazon - I have bought a few LP's from them recently, they tend to be at least the same price as record shops. I work in Kingston so I can use Banquet Records (and I do, thanks to their loyalty card) - my rule is if the price is within £2 of online I will buy from Banquet if not then I will order online. I much prefer getting it from a shop if I can, especially an independent. That and Banquet keep the local music scene alive basically single handedly so it makes sense. Although Amazon are really SHIT at packaging. I ordered a single LP off them (not even a gatefold) and they sent it in a box twice the size of a fucking shoe box filled with them little pieces of polystyrene!

AND they've booked Less than Jake to play on early May bank holiday. So they are good.

Nothing to do with Radiohead but I am sad it seems we have Adele instead of them so I wanted to change the subject

Is there a reason why Radiohead haven't headlined for so long?

Think it's been mentioned that they didn't want to become "Glastonbury's House Band". Plus, they've only relaxed 2 albums in 13 years...they thought it was too soon to headline again when In Rainbows came out, presumably...and TKOL wasn't exactly full of Pyramid Stage bangers.

in addition to this, there have been rumours thom said the pyramid sound is shit, and also questioned how green it would be for them to play the festival. Pretty daft reasons but there you go.

My suspicion is they'd rather just attend the festival than play it.

They also scheduled their In Rainbows UK "tour" in 2008 the same weekend as Glastonbury. Hence why it's the only festival I've missed since I started going in 1995.

And they took the money from Reading & Leeds the following summer.

Do you think it might be they were 'back up' incase Glastonbury lost a headliner (i.e. Adele) or is it RH's plans have changed?

I've been buying my vinyl online from an American store called all your music - they're on eBay and Rakuten. If you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for delivery they're a lot cheaper than buying here. Recently picked up In Rainbows for 12 quid, Wolf Alice's album for 13 and Different Class for 15.

legend, cheers mate.

At the moment I am working my way through Steven Wilson (I need his first 2 on vinyl) then I was going to do Porcupine Tree but I might have a go for Radiohead.

No issues then with import tax to UK?

I might, but not yet ... that's me getting ahead of myself by guessing at what I might hear.

I do too. I've picked up a few recent releases for smaller bands for 8 or 9 quid recently from them and it all turns up just fine

My pleasure.

Bought a few records off them in the past - just bought Fleet Foxes' first album for Mrs Jass's birthday. Usually take a couple of weeks to arrive and never had any problems with them. They don't have a massive selection but if you're looking for something specific it's a good place to start.

Going market rate for Radiohead fans. Adults still living at home with their parents don't have too much money.

To be pedantic and to ignore your joke, erm, adults living at home usually have more money. Less rent.
